Liberation Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Many highly sensitive people have spent their lives being told they are “too much” or “too sensitive.” In our work together, we reframe sensitivity as a nervous system trait rather than a flaw. We focus on emotional regulation, boundaries, overstimulation, relationships, and learning how to build a life that supports your sensitivity instead of overwhelming it.

Creative Now Therapy, Cris Maria Fort Garcés
Registered Psychotherapist, LCAT, ATR-BC, Gestalt Psychotherapy Certified, Developmental Somatic Psychotherapy Certified, Hakomi Somatic Practitioner
If you’ve ever been told you’re too sensitive, too emotional, or need to toughen up, you’re not alone. I specialize in working with highly sensitive people who feel deeply impacted by their environment, emotions, or relationships. Together we use somatic therapy and creative tools to help you understand your sensitivity as a strength and build nervous system regulation so you can move through the world with more ease.

Greta Klaber
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ma, LMFT
When working with highly sensitive people, I start by getting to know your unique internal landscape—your sensory experiences, emotional responses, and how sensitivity shows up in your daily life. Together, we explore how your system moves through the world, and how environments not designed for sensitivity can lead to overwhelm. I work to normalize and contextualize these experiences, highlighting the strength in sensitivity while also acknowledging the need for support and maintenance.
Our work focuses on helping you better understand and care for your system, especially during moments when your capacity feels limited. We build strategies that are sustainable and compassionate—rooted in somatic awareness, parts work, and self-understanding—so you can move through the world in a way that honors your sensitivity rather than working against it.

Rose Snyder, EdM, PsyD, LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
I work with highly sensitive people who may experience the world more intensely, whether through heightened sensory awareness, deep emotions, or both. My approach is strengths-based, honoring your unique neurophysiology while helping you find ways to navigate the world that feel more manageable and fulfilling. Together, we can explore healthy boundaries, develop tools for nervous system regulation, and find a greater sense of balance without losing the qualities that make you who you are. When helpful, we can also work on gradually increasing your capacity to manage sensory input. My goal is to help you work with your sensitivity rather than against it.
